City approves annexation

OKANOGAN  The City Council has approved the annexation of several parcels to the south end of town.

During its Sept. 17 meeting, the council accepted the proposal of Caribou Trail LLC, represented by Bonnie Rawson, to annex six parcels, totaling 7.35 acres, plus a portion of state Highway 20 running alongside the parcels.
